Sounds like a great project, but it also sounds like you have a long road ahead. The GS series Suzukis are easy to work on, and Suzuki has one of the best legacy parts programs, so parts are usually easy to get. Is '81 still carburetor, or had they gone to fuel injection by then? If you need...

Do you have the instructions that go along with the bracket and the harness? If so, there are no tricks beyond that. Also, your fairing may or may not have the optional horn kit. If you don't have the instructions, let me know and I can send them to you. I have two Suzukis with Windjammers...

Thank you. That's better than most of the stuff that I have found. It is more similar to the stuff that was on my Wixom fairing.

Really? I've searched and never found anything close. I've seen some stuff that is vaguely close at some marine supply stores, but nothing to my satisfaction. I would be very interested to hear what you have found. I would love to know where Craig got his. I assume it was an off the shelf...

I bought new edging from Vetter a few months ago. I know their web store is no longer active, but I have emailed directly and Carol was able to sell me edging and other parts. When I last heard from her they still had lots of edging on the shelf.

I think you can still get original trim from Vetter. Their web store is no longer active, but I have emailed Carol directly and she has sold me edge trim and other parts.

Those are not air vents. If you have the horn kit, those are openings for the sound of the horn to escape. If water does come in, there are drain holes at the bottom of the fairing. On bikes that do not have the horns, the hole in the fairing under those 'vents' are closed over with tape...

Yes, you can leave the headlight bucket in place, but if your airhead is like mine (1974 R90/6), I'm not sure how you would access the wiring to connect the fairing. On my Japanese bikes there is a pretty big hole in the bottom of the headlight bucket, but on my BMW it is sealed pretty tight.

Okay, I did a little hunting. The Pantara is kinda cool. It looks a bit like a Windjammer knockoff (as many of them were). It is British made. I could not find a source for replacement screens, however, you might want to contact this guy. He provide replacements for Wixom, Lufmeister, and...

Sorry, I am not familiar with the Pantara fairing. Are you sure it is a Vetter product? A picture would certainly be helpful. Ken

That is awesome. Getting the right bracket can be very frustrating, the basic mount for the bag is the same, but how it connects to the bike is all different. I've modified brackets in the past to get them to fit, but a made-for-your-bike solution is always better...and easier. Not sure why...

The lower 'half pipes' should marry up with the down tubes. They are then held in place with hose clamps. Double-check your wiring so nothing binds when turn the handlebars lock to lock.

I found it. This it the headlight that I use in both of my Windjammers. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019I0UBLU

These are the instructions that I have. Also, my 1978 GS750 is probably very similar to your bike. I you run into a problem I will try and help. I am recovering from surgery right now, but if I need to sneak out to the garage to take a picture I probably do that. Take your time and be tidy...

If it doesn't come with installation instructions, I can send you some.

Rusty, I see that the bracket on eBay was sold. Was that you that grabbed it up? Ken

Craig did offer some guidance on fabricating your own mounting brackets. Check out the link below. Craig's Guide to Custom Brackets

There is one on eBay in the USA right now that looks like it might be right for you. https://www.ebay.com/itm/191470885807?

The trick with mounting brackets is that, for the most part, they have no markings on them. So, you can't look it up and say, "I ride this model bike, so I need a number VTR-123456 bracket." Even Craig Vetter himself will tell you it was one of his biggest mistakes. The best thing to do is to...

You can still find lot of original instructions on Craig website. I took a quick look at the Terraplane mounting instructions. It is not a great copy, but they may be helpful. https://www.craigvetter.com/pages/Vetter_Fairings/All_Vetter_instructions.html Best of luck and share pictures, Ken
